<h1>Formatting panel stack borders</h1>
<p>When you format the borders of a panel stack, the formatting applies 
 to all panels in the panel stack. You can apply a basic line border, a 
 3D border to give the panel stack a three-dimensional appearance like 
 a button, or drop shadows which float the panel stack on top of the background.</p>
<h2>To format the borders of a panel stack</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=P-Steps><p class=Steps>Open the document in <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Design 
 </B></span>or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Editable Mode</B></span>. </p></li>
	
<li class=P-Steps><p class=Steps>Right-click the panel stack to format
